Kids who are leaps and bounds ahead of their parents

Some kids are smarter than others. Sorry, it's just a fact of life. We can't all be geniuses. Some of us were born to live mediocre lives and some of us were born for greatness.

I'm pretty sure that all of the kids on this list were born for greatness. They may not be all that great now, but we're certain that they have a whole lot of potential. I mean, just look what they can do already.
